No, only a select portion of the colony of Jamestown were permitted to vote. Eligibility was restricted to white males 21 or older, who owned property. As a result, the more numerous but landless people of the colony were not given suffrage, and all laws were made by a few land holding citizens.
Yes. Early in the history of Jamestown, the Polish immigrants who were the manufacturing tradesman (and not yet land title holders) struck for rights not allowed by the charter and opened a way for suffrage not available in England.

Virginia is often considered more democratic than England during the colonial period due to its early adoption of representative government through the House of Burgesses, established in 1619. This legislative body allowed colonists to have a voice in their governance, contrasting with England's monarchy and centralized control. Additionally, Virginia's vast geography and diverse population fostered a sense of local autonomy and participation in decision-making, further enhancing its democratic character compared to the more rigid political structure of England.
Jamestown was more than just a settlement for English people wanting a new start in the New World. The purpose of creating Jamestown was to aid England by creating plantations to grow tobacco & cotton. Cotton was needed by England to feed their textile industry & tobacco was now a great new discovery that Europeans wanted to have in a big way. The settlement was there to stake out and expand its territory in Virginia.
Pennsylvania's religious establishment provided monetary support to all Protestant religious groups.
Corn and tobacco had a great significant to Jamestown Colony. Tobacco grew better in the area than in England and corn fed the colonists.

The story of Smith is more legend than truth. Smith didn't last very long in Jamestown and he returned to England with burns caused by gunpowder being sprinkled on him while he slept. It was set on fire resulting in severe burns. Smith later wrote a book an lied about his time in Jamestown and his relationship with the people there. He was an adventurer, and more thief than leader.
